This C++ book by Peter Hoffman which is aimed for beginners. The book has 66 pages which is indeed a short book which a beginner can go through within one day. 

This book teaches the basic of the C++ language. Through this book, you will learn how to make your first program in less than 10 minutes. It also teaches about variables, operators, loops, conditions and pointers. This is a good starting point for a true beginner.

In every thing, a beginner would always want to know what he needs in order to start learning, where to start and how to start. In the same way, becoming a software developer or programmer, one has to start learning from the start. Knowing this need, this page will help a beginner of C++ to take every step learning how to program C++. This is a series of topics and tutorials which will help a beginner to take learning in a step by step process.

Listed are the topics and posts which are set in order so that a C++ student will know which to topic to learn and take first. This is a path to learning C++ through explanations and examples.

We will leave to you the research about the C++ programming language as there are plenty of resources in the web about C++ and software development in general. So in this tutorial, we will help you create your first program, run it up to learning how to program in C++ by yourself.

The most important thing is that to enjoy what you're doing.

What do you need to start coding your program? You will need to have a development environment and for this, we will use Microsoft's Visual Studio. There is the Microsoft Visual Studio Express version if you want a free, lightweight version which is intended for students and hobbyist like you. You can always buy for a premium version anytime if you want.

Happy coding!

For easy navigation of the lessons, I have placed them in the left side panel of this page - the BEGINNER's GUIDE will contains the topics to learn from top to bottom arrangement.

I will add lessons as I go. I'm still starting this page, so I hope you will bear with me. Your suggestions are welcome. Please subscribe if you want to be notified whenever, I post a new tutorial lesson or a new sample program.

I hope that this guide helps you as a learner of C++ language. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions, clarifications and questions, see contact page.

Thank you very much! Enjoy and happy learning!

Multiplication Table (10 * 10)

/*
Reverse the number

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
 long number, remainder, reverseNumber = 0;
 char hang;

 cout<< "Enter the number: ";
 cin>>number;
 
 while(number)
 {
  //extract the last digit from the number
  remainder = number % 10;  

  //build the reverseNumber digit by digit
  reverseNumber = (reverseNumber * 10) + remainder;

  //exclude the last digit from the number
  //ready for the next evaluation
  number = number / 10;    
 }

 cout<< "Reversed number = " << reverseNumber <<endl;
 
 //to let console stay
 cin>>hang;
 
 return 0;
}

//Sample 1

Enter the number: 1235
Reversed number = 5321

//Sample 2

Enter the number: 1023
Reversed number = 3201

//Sample 3

Enter the number: 5007
Reversed number = 7005

//*Sample 4

Enter the number: 012
Reversed number = 21

//*Sample 5

Enter the number: 210
Reversed number = 12

Write a C++ program which checks if a number is a prime number or not?

Let's take 5 as an example:

1 and 5 (the number itself) can evenly divide 5 so they are factors of 5.
2, 3, 4 are cannot evenly divide 5 so they are not factors of 5.
Therefore, 5 is a Prime Number.

The program below shows a number is asked and it is evaluated if a prime number or not.
